Preacher Curl

How to do it

Preacher bench: the back of your arm on the angled pad and your armpits against the top edge. Lower until the elbow is fully straight even if it feels awkward, and curl without lifting the arm off the pad. The pad stops the shoulder moving, so the biceps works isolated and in its stretched position. You feel it a lot at the bottom. The classic mistake is not going all the way down for fear of the stretch.
